Our best Brownell team ever had the worst NCAA

First half performance of all time. Yes. Of all time. Ever. In the entirety of the tournament's history.

And that, my friends, is Clemson basketball under Brad Brownell. 2 steps forward. Then 3 steps back. For 15 straight years going on 21.

Will continue to show up and support all athletic programs but it is what it is at this point. 21 years of SLIGHTLY above average basketball. On to the next.

I know that was what was reported initially, but it is inaccurate. The ACC figured into another humiliating first half in the 2001 tourney. None of this changes the discussion around Brownell's coaching acumen. 😛

I can’t remember the others. I think the original quote was the fewest by a 5 seed or higher since 1999 or something to that effect and the everyone started twisting it/mis reporting it virally. It was putrid regardless but further down the list.

Sounds about right. I guess when Clemson starts caring about basketball then will I.

Clemson has made it abundantly clear that we are extremely invested in performing slightly above average.

The coaching staff and players have everything invested in being better. You have absolutely nothing invested except scorn for every loss. Pathetic and un-athletic.

So two steps forward..... us making the elite 8, and following that up with setting the school record for wins in a season.


3 steps back...... losing as a 5 seed in the ncaa tournament by 2.

The math doesnt seem to be mathing with this post. Did we also take 3 steps back when OP lost as a 5 seed?

15 years and we have only advanced past the first round

Twice. Two years out of 15 total. In the rare years that we actually make the tournament, that is.

If Brownell gets us back in the tournament next year and manages to win just one game then I will eat crow.

But if history is any indicator we will most likely miss the tournament entirely. Certainly hoping he proves me wrong.
